UK-based artist Claire Coles designs and handcrafts couture wallpaper murals and appliqué artwork. Paper, silk, and leather are collaged and freehand embroidered to create decorative surface patterns inspired by flora and fauna. Claire uses the sewing machine as if it were a pencil to create loose and fluid lines of intricate stitching around her motifs.

Inspired by our collection, Cole’s Vessels series incorporates actual pieces of Casa Branca fabric and wallpaper.

I try to create motifs that have a subtle and unobtrusive beauty.
